WU: Review of Volume

Front

What is the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism?

Back

V = B x h, where B is the area of the base and h is the height.

Front

How do you calculate the area of a square base?

Back

Area = side x side.

Front

What is the volume of a square prism with a base area of 25 square feet and a height of 12 feet?

Back

300 cubic feet.

Front

What is the formula for the volume of a sphere?

Back

V = (4/3)πr³, where r is the radius.

Front

If the volume of a sphere is 800 cubic feet, how do you find the radius?

Back

Use the formula V = (4/3)πr³ and solve for r.

Front

What is the volume of a cone?

Back

V = (1/3)πr²h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

Front

How do you find the volume of a cone with a diameter of 8 inches and a height of 10 inches?

Back

First, find the radius (4 inches), then use V = (1/3)π(4)²(10) to get approximately 167.5 in³.

Front

What does the 'B' in the volume formula V = B x h stand for?

Back

B stands for the area of the base.

Front

How do you find the volume of a rectangular pyramid?

Back

Volume = (Area of base x height) / 3.

Front

What is the volume of a rectangular pyramid with a base area of 50 square feet and a height of 9 feet?

Back

Volume = (50 x 9) / 3 = 150 cubic feet.
